永不放棄

Never Give Up
Chinese Calligraphy Scroll

yǒng bù fàng qì

The first character means "eternal" or "forever", the second means "not" (together they mean "never"). The last two characters mean "give up" or "abandon". Altogether, you can translate this phrase as "never give up" or "never abandon".

Depending on how you want to read this, it is also a statement that you will never abandon your hopes, dreams, family or friends.

This proverb was also adopted in Korea. These characters are also the ancient Korean Hanja form. In modern Korea, it's known as 永不放棄 so this phrase is dual-language.
